Kobe says he can ‘probably’ break Kareem’s NBA scoring record

L.A. Times: He was appreciative after passing Jerry West to become the Lakers’ all-time scoring leader, calling it a “great honor,” but is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s all-time NBA mark a possibility? Time will be the final judge, as always, but Bryant said he would “probably” be able to do it.

he will probably do it, but that should not be his main goal, his main goal should be getting rings, and if that means dishing out more assists then so be it

LEADERFISH

I know but it was last night.

lakeb

huh? hahaa last night was passing jerry west for top scorer of the lakers franchise, not passing kareem of all time

LEADERFISH

His main goal was passing west last night. Phil saw it and called Kobe out and every other player who made that the goal.

lakeb

huh? this is article is about what kobe passing kareem. it has nothing to do with last nights achievment

LEADERFISH

The point being his main goal shouldn’t be passing Kareem and last night his main goal shouldn’t be passing West. Pau and Phil both said basically Kobe was selfish. Sure he hit a good many shots but it screws with the team if one person takes too many shots.

leaderfish u know wat else fu kin screws wit da team?? pau not bein there n bynum suckin again that screws wit the team jus as much as kobe takin all those stupid shots..kobe was ballhoggin yes but pau had foul trouble n so did bynum both of the mofos were non-existent

LEADERFISH

When you ice your teammates they don’t perform as well. The majority of the blame goes on kobe but I do think the other players deserve blame. They should have yelled at kobe and said “pass the fuckin’ ball”. LOL, seriously though. They have to speak out.

LC09

ohh yeah kobe does get most of the blame but the rest of da guys gotta play like they guna get da ball everytime.kobe will give it up if ur askin for it enough times..but dont matter i jus hope it doesnt boil over to other games

Kobe knows he’ll pass it, if he’s healthy the next few years. I think we did the math in previous posts. If he averages 26 ppg, then he’ll pass Kareem in around 5 years.
.
Trust me, he’ll be around for at least 5 more years, maybe more.

Well Kobe can quote MJ : “Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.”

yeah,i hear that!he’s gotta turn into kobe the assist machine for awhile…get some trust going around the court and locker room. and chemistry in lakers basket ball.we have alot of talent.we need to let every one flourish.we’ll be dealy when and if that happens.kobe you gotta pass..he’s the g.o.a.t but the lakers are the champs! kobe you gotta pass!
